Welcome to LIVE Trust

LIVE Trust protects, expands and supports the grassroots music ecosystem across the UK.

The crisis in grassroots music has seen venues closing, festivals calling time, artists unable to tour, and promoters no longer operating.

By collecting a £1 contribution per ticket for shows and events with a 5,000+ capacity, LIVE Trust is able to fund programmes that deliver long-term positive impact for the grassroots music ecosystem all over the UK.
